Scientists admit more testing is necessary, but a gel that could protect women from the spread of HIV is one step closer to the marketplace. The difference between this study and others on prevention gels? This gel was applied and tested after sex.

Though other cases have been reported where women thought they infected a female partner, the New York Times reports no clear evidence was given or collected to make it official. The report states that in some cases, no genetic testing was done, or other occurrences could have lead to one of the women coming into contact with the virus elsewhere, such as sex with men or intravenous drug use.

In this case, the genetic test showed the HIV virus was 98 percent identical in the two partners. The two women were in their 40s and lived in Houston, Texas in 2012, when the transmission took place. The partner with HIV was previously being treated for the virus, but had stopped treatment. The women reported they had sex while on their periods and used sex toys, and at times bleeding occurred.

The CDC suggests that those with the virus remain on their antiretroviral drugs as it reduces virus levels in the blood to a level that makes it highly unlikely to pass to a partner who is uninfected.
